SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive Memory Card + 2mo Adobe CC Photography, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control (MZ-V8P2T0B)

I completely slipped up purchasing a NUC with a HDD for a drive a couple of yrs ago (instead of a machine with a SSD). Had been meaning to upgrade for some time now and had been on the fence about the expense vs the how much faster will my computer be? thing. Also, I am not computer savvy, so, I also was procrastinating b/c I didnt want to mess with my computers internals.

Honestly, not a single complaint. Definitely worth every penny. Quick, easy to manage, and very reliable.

I watched a few YT videos on installing this and it was a breeze. I kept this on my wish list until the 2TB version dropped to $149.95 and with a gift card I snagged it at a killer price.

CLONING CAN BE A HICCUP: If you have a computer (typically a laptop) with an NVMe SSD in it already, and you have no other NVMe sockets (no unused sockets), you will need to use an external device to mount this new NVMe SDD. Thats to directly copy the existing operating system and other content from the existing NVMe SSD to the new one, using the Samsung clone utility.

Love this SSD! The transfer speeds are great!

I got the 2 tb verson and now that my laptop can hold 3 of these, I now have a 6TB laptop, its not overkill for me atleast, but its worth every byte!

This was super easy to install in my PS5. The only trick was sliding the cover off the PS5, which I watched a video to make sure I pulled in the correct direction to make sure I didnt break any tabs or anything. Other than that, its one screw to open the very obvious expansion port cover, then you pop the stick in and move another screw to hold it in place. Sony clearly intends for people to make this one simple surgery on their system; everything else is hidden from view behind other panels. When I turned the PS5 on, it recognized and formatted the new hard drive, and it had 1.01TB storage on it.

This replaced a standard hdd. WOW. Boot time went from 45 seconds to under 15 seconds on my ASUS ROG laptop. Programs load fast too. I also added ram but this was the real speed up. If your computer can use this type of m.2 SSD, go for it.

excellent quality but delivery very slow

Followed instructions for installing in a PS5. Worked without any issues whatsoever.
